| episode_narrative | Several inches of rain in only two to three hours caused flash flooding in Kalamazoo, where two homes and two businesses sustained extensive damage. Waldo Stadium, on the campus of Western Michigan University, also had major flooding problems. At one point, three feet of standing water covered the entire football field. A girl who was walking by Arcadia Creek near the downtown Burger King was swept downstream by the flood waters. Very fortunately, she was able to avoid trouble by landing on a grassy area. The heavy rain also caused several accidents and also several cars to stall in Kalamazoo. More than two inches of rain also fell in a short time in Jackson, causing an underpass to be flooded on Jackson Street north of Glick Highway, where several cars got stuck in up to three feet of standing water. |
